How Social Evolution "evolves" away from belief in unchanging objective reality: From Judaeo-Christian Western Civilization into anything-goes Pop-Culture.

In Organic Evolving Constitution we described the self-destructive view of our Constitution as a living, breathing organism that "evolves" to suit the needs of an "evolving" human society. And that is, of course, nationally destructive nonsense. Truth does not change; only man's view of it, or interpretation of it, or recognition of it changes. In a similar manner, the carefully laid out, proven, time-tested organization of a nation should not change to suit fads or rumors or minority opinions or unproven wild theories.

Where did this "evolving" thinking come from?

The very idea that man is always somehow wiser over time and never falls into error feeds the notion of "evolving" reality. We know now more than we knew then, therefore, we should abandon if not loosen old taboos and rules.

Despite the fact that, in nearly every area of human knowledge, man knows less, or what he "knows" is seriously erroneous, and man is demonstrably less wise than he was. (See the Scientism Pages.) As technology develops at a pace that threatens to go out of control, human moral, cultural and political development is clearly going in the opposite direction.

We erroneously assume that our moral and cultural "advancement" is
keeping pace with our rocketing technological advancement, but the two
things have little or nothing to do with each other.

Morals do not change. "Knowledge" changes; God remains unchanged.

The Beginning Point.

When Christ declared that He would found His Church on Peter, He used the singular "Church", not the plural. One Church, and no more. Not 30,000 or 40,000 or whatever the count is now. In the year of our Lord 1483 that Truth was first opposed by Martin Luther, the Catholic Priest who "knew" more than those who had gone before him. Since then, the "denominations" broken away from that one original Christian Church continue to exponentially multiply.

The Truth of it never changed; only mans "knowledge" of it changed.

Most new denominations abandoned Church Authority, established by Christ, in favor of the Sole Authority of Scripture, in open defiance of what Scripture had to say about it. Scripture refutes it; yet, untold millions "know" otherwise.

And, most denominations abandoned the requirements of discipleship and salvation in favor of the new notion of Salvation By Faith Alone, again, in open defiance of what Scripture had to say about it. Scripture refutes it; yet, untold millions "know" otherwise.

Just about all of the denominations, in evangelizing for their particular denomination, ask the question, are you saved?, and then answer with a super-simplistic "path" to salvation that is just made up, imagined into being, and cannot be found in Scripture. What they "know" is apparently more advanced than what Scripture says.

There are denominations that hold with divorce and remarriage, despite what Christ said about it in Scripture. There are denominations that hold with the homosexual "life style" despite what Scripture says about it. There are denominations that hold with artificial contraception, despite what Scripture says about it, and despite even what Luther, Calvin and other Protestant heretics had to say about it.

It gets worse. There are denominations that hold with aborting human babies in their mother's womb. There are denominations that do not believe in the Trinity. There are denominations that do not believe that Jesus Christ is God. There are denominations that believe in a multiplicity of gods. Every bit of this is in open defiance of the very Scripture most of them claim to be their "Sole Authority" for all that they believe. And, some of them claim even a "New" Gospel, "inspired" by someone centuries and millennia after the Bible, which is, again, in open defiance of Scripture. It is condemned by Scripture.

But men today "know" better, even than their own Christian Scripture.

And they still pretend to be Christians.

The Catholic Contribution to "evolutionary" faith.

We have dioceses and archdioceses that permit if not bless such things as artificial contraception, divorce and remarriage, homosexual life-styles, and even homosexual lifestyles among the clergy. They politically agitate and homilize in favor of ordaining women and an end to celibacy. Their eyes are on this world only, quite obviously.

What may be even worse than all that is the fact that the Church no longer condemns Atheistic Marxism or Islam, the two global geopolitical movements that openly seek the destruction of the Church and the forcible domination of the world.

The Church today, from the top down, seeks some kind of peaceful coexistence or reconciliation with both of these evil, dangerous, invasive and destructive ideologies.

Let me here state the obvious: It is not possible to co-exist for long with an enemy ideology whose irreformable core purpose for being involves your destruction.

The American Denominational Reset.

America was originally colonized and founded on the principle of freedom of choice in Christian denominational worship. The first Pilgrims came here for that purpose; to escape government-forced specific Christian worship in Post-Reformation Europe. The first item established in the First Amendment of the Constitution was that religious freedom from state interference, and the Framers wanted it firmly established in the Supreme Law of the Land.

They agreed, in their Christian denominational diversity, to fix their new representative law upon the Christian moral code they all held in common; those Commandments of God that addressed man's relationship with his fellow man. Judaeo-Christian Morality.

For the first time since the Reformation, there was a Christian nation on earth of many diverse denominations who were not at war with each other, but acting in cooperation for the common good. Theology and liturgy may differ, but the Commandments were fixed for all. That, they could all agree on.

It was, in my opinion, a marvelous opportunity for ecumenism among the denominations. Perhaps the best opportunity for Catholic evangelism ever in history, since the original European break-up.

But, if it was an opportunity, it was missed. Rather than an ecumenical coming together, Protestant denominationalism went on steroids in America. Nearly all of the untold tens of thousands of newer denominations in the whole world were invented right here in the USA. Many or most of them are, mostly, businesses. All you have to do for this business is declare yourself a "minister", preach on tithes, and voila! you're in business.

The Libertarian species evolved on the Political side of the street.

Our Political Parties have, as all Political Parties always do, long outlived their original purposes for being, and taken on lives of their own. As we have said elsewhere herein, the original pro-slavery Democrat Party has evolved into today's Marxocrat Party, and is solidly Marxist in ideology and guiding principle if not in actual violent revolutionary intent. And the original anti-slavery Republican Party has evolved into today's Republicrat Party, existing merely to exist and share power with the Marxocrats. Between them, these two Parties actually run the federal government, completely outside the Constitution. They are indeed unconstitutional entities, not being mentioned anywhere in the Constitution.

"Conservatism" in America, which once upon a time meant strict Constitutionalism, has softened itself almost out of existence. No Conservative politician today speaks of eliminating the 90% of the unconstitutional federal bureaucracies the Parties have invented, nor of the elimination of the unconstitutional Political Parties themselves.

Feeding all of this is a general falling away from our original founding moral code - from clear-cut, undiluted Judaeo-Christian morality.

Leading the charge into amorality, on the Conservative side of the street, we have the Libertarian movement, espousing "economic conservatism" alongside "social liberalism". Which is to say, to hold no position on the "social" issues. (Abortion; divorce and remarriage; contraception; homosexuality; homosexual "marriage"; transgenderism; pornography; etc.)

What is interesting is that many, if not most, of those holding to these Libertarian positions also pretend to be Christians. Of all Protestant denominations, and also, supposedly, Catholics.

I submit that it is not possible to be amoral, or to hold to a strictly neutral position on gross immorality established in law, and be Christian. Christianity calls no one to stand neutral on such issues. To give tacit approval to destructive sinful behavior, through silence, is to condescend to evil and thereby help it to advance in your family and in the larger culture.

To say that it's no skin off your nose what someone else does, is not good enough. It is skin off the nose of the whole culture. It is destructive of the moral fiber of the whole nation. It is degrading of the whole American People. It helps establish blatant immorality and depravity, in our representative civil law.

If it is representative law, then it defines us, as a people.

Libertarianism makes sense only for atheists or agnostics, who hold nothing to be sacred, and who guide their lives by nothing in particular. But Libertarianism should be anathema to true believing Christians, who guide their lives by Christian faith.

Does Christianity condemn homosexuality, and the other "Social Isues"? Yes or no.

If the answer to that question is yes, then you may not be neutral on so called social issues. You are called to take a stand, if you are indeed a Christian and not a political Christian poseur.

At question is whether you live for this world, or the next.

If you please God, you will live forever. Or not. By your own choice.

Silence in the face of evil is speaking. "We've had enough of exhortations to be silent!
Cry out with a hundred thousand tongues. I see that the world is rotten
because of silence." Saint Catherine of Siena

error which is not resisted is approved; a truth which is not defended is
suppressed…. He who does not oppose an evident crime is open to the suspicion of
secret complicity.” – Pope Felix III

What you are in God's sight is what you are and nothing more”—Justice Clarence Thomas

"Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, then, is the sin committed by the person who claims to have a 'right' to persist in evil-in any sin at all-and who thus rejects redemption." Pope Saint John Paul the GreatDOMINUM ET VIVIFICANTEM

"Not to oppose error is to approve it; and not to defend truth is to suppress it, and, indeed, to neglect to confound evil men-when we can do it-is no less a sin than to encourage them." Pope St. Felix III

If a purposeful violator of the Constitution who is a sworn officer of the governemt is not a domestic enemy of America and a traitor, then
there is no such thing, and the Constitution itself is without meaning,

Still Time To Get It Right. “Once you understand the role of energy in everything, you can begin to appreciate why there's simply nothing more important to get right. Energy is at the root of everything. If you have sufficient energy, anything is possible. But without it, everything grinds to a halt.” Chris Martenson

The Heresy of Chrislam. Those claiming that the “Allah” of Islam’s Qu’ran and Yahweh or God of both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible are one and the same are missing one glaring point: GOD NEVER CONTRADICTS HIMSELF.

Never be lukewarm.Life itself demands passion.He who is indifferent to God has already forfeited his soul.He who is indifferent to politics has already forfeited his liberty.In America, religion is not mere window dressing and citizenship is not a spectator sport.Do not allow our common destiny as a whole people to just happen without your input. Seek the Truth; find the Way; live the Life; please God, and live forever.

"We belong to the Church militant; and She is militant because on earth the powers of darkness are ever restless to encompass Her destruction. Not only in the far-off centuries of the early Church, but down through the ages and in this our day, the enemies of God and Christian civilization make bold to attack the Creator’s supreme dominion and sacrosanct human rights.”--Pope Pius XII

"It is not lawful to take the things of others to give to the poor. It is a sin worthy of punishment, not an act deserving a reward, to give away what belongs to others."--St. Francis of Assisi

Truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance
may deride it, but in the end, there it is.—Winston
Churchill

The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who
deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.—Ayn Rand

Atheist Genesis:

In the beginning there was nothing, and nothing happened to nothing.
And then nothing accidentally exploded and created everything.
And then some bits of everything accidentally encountered other bits of everything and formed some new kinds of everything.
And then some bits of everything accidentally arranged themselves into self-replicating bits of everything.
And then some self-replicating bits of everything accidentally arranged themselves into dinosaurs.

“ … for I have sworn upon
the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind
of man.” wrote Thomas Jefferson in a letter to Dr. Benjamin Rush in
the year of our Lord 1800. The context
involved resistance to any form of Christianity or Deism legally imposing
itself throughout the USA. We must wonder what he might say
about our current government's forced imposition of strict secularism – i.e.,
anti-theism – throughout the USA. I submit that legally enforced secularism of society, like theocracy, like Marxism,
and like Islam, is, precisely, a form of tyranny over the mind of man.Nothing good can come from the religious cleansing of Judaeo-Christian society. Government imposed secularism is just another form of theocracy.
